32 I, 18, 1 | that out, as the body of Truth is divided by them--a point
33 I, 19, 1 | spoken by Hosea, "There is no truth in them, nor the knowledge
34 I, 20, 1 | ignorant of the Scriptures of truth. Among other things, they
35 I, 20, 2 | announced the Father of truth. For what they knew not,

40 I, 22 | DEVIATIONS OF HERETICS FROM THE TRUTH.~1.
41 I, 22, 1 | The rule of truth which we hold, is, that
42 I, 22, 1 | men have deviated from the truth; for almost all the different
43 I, 22, 1 | doctrines, they change [this truth into error], even as the
44 I, 24, 2 | has also laid it down as a truth, that the SAviour was without
45 I, 25, 3 | from the preaching of the truth; or, again, seeing the things
46 I, 27, 3 | direct opposition to the truth,--that Cain, and those like
47 I, 27, 4 | who in any way corrupt the truth, and injuriously affect
48 I, 28, 2 | have fallen away from the truth.~
49 I, 31, 1 | that he alone, knowing the truth as no others did, accomplished
50 I, 31, 4 | doctrines agreeable to the truth. Since then the case is
51 II, pref, 1| previously swerved from the truth itself. I further explained,
52 II, pref, 1| establish [what they regard as] truth. I have also related how
53 II, 2, 5 | also expresses the same truth [when he says] "For He spake,
54 II, 4, 1 | from itself. But if, in truth, vacuity was produced, then
55 II, 5, 3 | material and temporal, will in truth fall back on the Father;

61 II, 11 | FROM THEIR DISBELIEF OF THE TRUTH, HAVE FALLEN INTO AN ABYSS
62 II, 11, 1 | not yielding credit to the truth, but wallowing in falsehood,
63 II, 11, 2 | either returning to the truth, and humbling themselves,
64 II, 13, 1 | it would be more like the truth for them to maintain that
65 II, 13, 3 | and been taught by the truth, they would have known,
66 II, 13, 9 | life, and incorruption, and truth. And these and such like

68 II, 14, 1 | Much more like the truth, and more pleasing, is the
69 II, 14, 7 | know, or not know, the truth? If they knew it, then the
70 II, 14, 7 | that He might bring that truth which was [already] known
71 II, 14, 7 | do those who knew not the truth, ye boast that yourselves
72 II, 14, 7 | they style ignorance of the truth knowledge: and Paul well
73 II, 14, 7 | indeed did not know the truth, but that their Mother,
74 II, 14, 7 | proclaimed the mysteries of truth through such men, even as
75 II, 14, 7 | things which were of the truth (and the Father is truth),
76 II, 14, 7 | truth (and the Father is truth), then on their theory the
77 II, 14, 8 | certain number away [from the truth]. They lead them on~by the
78 II, 16, 2 | he had utterly missed the truth, and was conceiving that,
79 II, 17, 1 | to the knowledge of the truth, as well as because thou
80 II, 17, 9 | bound (while, as regards the truth, they depart entirely from
81 II, 18, 6 | and impassibility, and truth. For they do not say that
82 II, 18, 6 | knowledge and apprehension of truth. For they affirm that the
83 II, 18, 6 | have a comprehension of the truth of the Father, fell down
84 II, 18, 7 | totally destitute of the truth. For, that this AEon is
85 II, 18, 7 | brings, as they maintain, truth, and perfection, and establishment,
86 II, 19, 8 | free those who seek the truth from a false opinion; in
87 II, 19, 9 | only a small proportion of truth, can tolerate them, when

92 II, 23, 1 | sometimes diverse from the truth [signified] as to matter
93 II, 24, 3 | the Pleroma; while [the truth is, that] every number occurs

95 II, 25, 1 | derive arguments against the truth from these very theories,
96 II, 25, 2 | the others. The lover of truth therefore ought not to be
97 II, 27, 1 | to piety and the love of truth, will eagerly meditate upon
98 II, 27, 1 | from all, and the body of truth remains entire, with a harmonious
99 II, 27, 1 | will possess the rule of truth; but in accordance with
100 II, 27, 1 | found the various systems of truth, in mutual opposition to
101 II, 27, 3 | interpretations, what lover of truth will not acknowledge, that
102 II, 28, 1 | Having therefore the truth itself as our rule and the
103 II, 28, 2 | made them can declare the truth regarding them.~3.
104 II, 30, 2 | something more precious than the truth itself! That expression
105 II, 30, 6 | who have proclaimed the truth, and give credit to them,
106 II, 30, 9 | departed far and wide from the truth. For if the Saviour formed
107 II, 31, 1 | which lie outside of the truth to the system of their own
108 II, 31, 1 | things belonging to the truth for the support of a system

124 III, 3, 1 | who may wish to see the truth, to contemplate clearly
125 III, 3, 3 | and the preaching of the truth, have come down to us. And

127 III, 3, 4 | more stedfast witness of truth, than Valentinus, and Marcion,

136 III, 4, 2 | those who transform the truth, and despise His Father

139 III, 5, 1 | being disciples of the truth, are above all falsehood;

141 III, 5, 1 | Lord, therefore, being the truth, did not speak lies; and
142 III, 5, 1 | to further the cause of truth, but even in hypocrisy,
143 III, 5, 2 | but according to revealed truth. For no persons of any kind
144 III, 6, 1 | following] does declare the same truth: "Thy throne, O God; is
145 III, 9, 2 | anointed. The LORD hath sworn a truth to David, and will not turn
146 III, 10, 2 | another god, because in truth there is but "one God, who
147 III, 10, 3 | Creator ? This identical truth was also what the angels [
148 III, 10, 3 | brought to them error and not truth.~4.
149 III, 10, 5 | and I shall show [the same truth] from the prophets themselves
150 III, 11, 1 | to establish the rule of truth in the Church, that there
151 III, 11, 7 | they read it with a love of truth, may have their errors rectified.
152 III, 11, 9 | discovered more than is of the truth; the latter, that they may

154 III, 11, 9 | published is the Gospel of truth, and yet is totally unlike
155 III, 11, 9 | be reckoned the Gospel of truth. But that these Gospels
156 III, 12, 5 | against His Christ. For of a truth, in this city, against Thy
157 III, 12, 5 | these subverters [of the truth], and their adherents. Wherefore
158 III, 12, 6 | old, no one learned the truth from them, nor, at a much
159 III, 12, 6 | men themselves know the truth; but since such was their
160 III, 12, 6 | therefore, the rule of truth can be with nobody; but
161 III, 12, 7 | coming in, said, "Of a truth I perceive that God is no
162 III, 12, 7 | used to give alms, is, in truth, God. the knowledge of the
163 III, 12, 13 | who did not assent to the truth, for that reason they suffered.
164 III, 12, 13 | they did not relinquish the truth, but with all boldness preached
165 III, 13 | WHO HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.~1.
166 III, 13, 1 | that Paul alone knew the truth, and that to him the mystery

168 III, 13, 2 | Father (and the Father is truth). To allege, then, that
169 III, 13, 2 | these men did not know the truth, is to act the part of false
170 III, 13, 2 | these men did not know the truth? How also did the seventy
171 III, 13, 2 | themselves previously known the truth of what was preached? Or
172 III, 13, 3 | to subjection, that the truth of the gospel might continue
173 III, 14 | THEM; NEITHER COULD THE TRUTH HAVE POSSIBLY LAIN HID FROM
174 III, 14, 1 | as bound to do so by the truth itself. For he says that
175 III, 14, 1 | was not ignorant of the truth. That he was not merely
176 III, 14, 3 | one who did not know the truth, he will, [by so acting,]
177 III, 14, 4 | if he had not known the truth. And if indeed Marcion's
178 III, 15, 1 | falsehood, when he proclaims the truth to us with all diligence.
179 III, 15, 1 | the unadulterated rule of truth, may be saved. His testimony,
180 III, 15, 2 | bears a resemblance to the truth, but requires to be disguised;
181 III, 15, 2 | requires to be disguised; while truth is without disguise, and
182 III, 15, 2 | capable of receiving the truth, and not having from above
183 III, 15, 3 | were the preachers of the truth and the apostles of liberty
184 III, 16, 2 | foreseeing the corrupters [of the truth], and guarding by anticipation
185 III, 16, 5 | without, and is not of the truth. Who is a liar, but he that
186 III, 16, 6 | they thus wander from the truth, because their doctrine
187 III, 16, 9 | be impassible. For if, in truth, the one suffered, and the
188 III, 17, 4 | of God and adulterate the truth, "Lime is wickedly mixed
189 III, 19, 2 | even a small portion of the truth. Now, the Scriptures would
190 III, 20, 1 | by thus not holding the truth, should boast with empty
191 III, 21, 2 | counsel together, conceal the truth in the Scriptures, by their
192 III, 22, 4 | that the first should in truth be last, and the last first.
193 III, 23, 2 | But this is Adam, if the truth should be told, the first
194 III, 23, 8 | heretics and apostates from the truth, and show themselves patrons
195 III, 24, 1 | grace; but the Spirit is truth. Those, therefore, who do
196 III, 24, 2 | Alienated thus from the truth, they do deservedly wallow
197 III, 24, 2 | words than disciples of the truth. For they have not been
198 III, 24, 2 | excuse of searching [after truth] (for they are blind), but
199 III, 24, 2 | furnishes power to find [the truth]; imagining that they have
200 III, 25, 6 | apprehends nothing of the truth; it falls into void and
201 IV, pref, 1| them into the haven of the truth, mayest cause them to attain
202 IV, pref, 3| ministers of the word" of truth, hold no such opinions,
203 IV, 2, 4 | those who scoff [at the truth] assert that these men were
204 IV, 2, 6 | He who uttered them was Truth, and did truly vindicate
205 IV, 6, 6 | it was fitting that the truth should receive testimony
206 IV, 7, 3 | disciples, "I am the way, the truth, and the life and no man
207 IV, 17, 3 | shall utter. Speak ye the truth every man to his neighbour,
208 IV, 17, 4 | that they preached the truth; but accuses these men (
209 IV, 19, 1 | both of wanderers from the truth, and of absolutely foolish
210 IV, 26, 2 | received the certain gift of truth, according to the good pleasure
211 IV, 26, 2 | these have fallen from the truth. And the heretics, indeed,
212 IV, 26, 2 | up in opposition to the truth, and exhort others against
213 IV, 26, 5 | behoves us to learn the truth, [namely,] from those who
214 IV, 27, 1 | the temple as the type of truth, and set forth the glories
215 IV, 27, 4 | those men who hold back the truth in unrighteousness." And
216 IV, 29, 1 | judged who believed not the truth, but consented to iniquity."~
217 IV, 30, 2 | they themselves (for lot truth be spoken, although to some
218 IV, 33, 5 | possessed of the character of] truth; and, in these circumstances,
219 IV, 33, 7 | give rise to war, and do in truth strain out a gnat, but swallow
220 IV, 33, 7 | are beyond the pale of the truth, that is, who are outside
221 IV, 33, 7 | with a knowledge of the truth, and has set forth the dispensations
222 IV, 33, 11 | and rule Thou because of truth, and meekness, and righteousness."
223 IV, 33, 13 | they announced that very truth of His being taken up again
224 IV, 35, 1 | listened to the unadulterated truth? Or, on the other hand,
225 IV, 35, 2 | apostles proclaimed the truth, but that it was the scribes
226 IV, 35, 2 | apostles in the spirit of truth, and not in that of error,
227 IV, 35, 2 | of light, the Spirit of truth, the Spirit of perfection,
228 IV, 35, 2 | and ignorance, error and truth, light and darkness? But
229 IV, 35, 4 | His words as the rule of truth, we do all speak alike with
230 IV, 36, 8 | Father. Then, again, this truth was clearly shown forth
231 IV, 37, 4 | says, "Speak ye every man truth with his neighbour." And, "
232 IV, 41, 4 | may be converted to the truth and saved. But it is necessary
233 IV, 41, 4 | apostle was a preacher of the truth, and that he taught all
234 IV, 41, 4 | to the preaching of the truth; [to the effect that] it
235 V, pref, 1| Then I have pointed out the truth, and shown the preaching
236 V, pref, 1| lead them away from the truth. It will be incumbent upon
237 V, 1, 2 | was there any degree of truth in Him, for He was not that
238 V, 3, 1 | might fall away from the truth. Thus he says in the second [
239 V, 3, 1 | may not be destitute of truth and love either towards
240 V, 8, 1 | having heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation,
241 V, 10, 1 | This truth, therefore, [he declares],
242 V, 13, 2 | clear, but shun the light of truth, blinding themselves like
243 V, 18, 2 | Father, full of grace and truth." He thus plainly points
244 V, 19, 1 | announced, through means of the truth [spoken] by the angel to
245 V, 19, 2 | themselves with regard to the truth, do in fact speak against
246 V, 20, 1 | since they are blind to the truth, and deviate from the [right]
247 V, 20, 1 | the Church preaches the truth everywhere, and she is the
248 V, 20, 2 | something more beyond the truth, so that by following those
249 V, 20, 2 | and never finding out the truth. It behoves us, therefore,
250 V, 22, 2 | from the beginning, and the truth is not in him." If then
251 V, 22, 2 | then he be a liar and the truth be not in him, he certainly
252 V, 22, 2 | certainly did not speak truth, but a lie, when he said, "
253 V, 23, 2 | from the beginning, and the truth is not in him."~
